Brad, I'm a recent enrollee and appreciate the history. Over the past two months I see some great benefits to being here to both increase my knowledge of the industry and to make new contacts with both agents and clients. Thanks.
I'm a relative newbie joining Jan 2009, so this was interesting. I would've signed up sooner if I'd have heard about AR sooner - I signed up the day I heard about it in a C21 meeting at my office.
Very nice little summary !
... quick question, was that a half-caf-one-pump-classic-mocha-latte that Matt was clinging to in his interview !! lol ... coffee is essential !
Great video guys !
Those were the days my friend...we thought they'd never end...and guess what? They haven't. As you know, I'm a newer member of the tribe. One day I'll be saying "I remember when there were only 175,000 folks on Active Rain...
Wow, what a lot of fun to watch. Perhaps a sequel on how far the platform has come, morphed, etc.
Funny at this point in time the video seems so now, and yet so from another age. Nice clip, neat to hear the original intent from the creators. Thanks for posting.
There were around 80,000 members when I started. Seems the growth has really picked up steam. Loved getting to see this.
Hi Brad. I love Active Rain though I was not here during the early days. I really like that it is Seattle based. Well I noticed that Toby Barnett's last post at Active Rain was in November 2009 and Ardel DellaLoggia last posted in 12/2009.
Brad - Ahhh the good old days... I remember about 15,000 members when we first started as well... Seems like yesterday... Good to see this again... thanks
Brad, Thanks for the video. It's nice to see where we started and I'm anxious to see where it goes from here!
Brad: I can't believe it!---I thought this thing had been around for a century when i joined---it was like some scary, big, well established web site that I was so intimidated by!!! I was so nervous when I joined and started to blog...I could just see me failing terribly at the writing thing!...NOW I FIND OUT THAT YOU GUYS WERE ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD WHEN I JOINED---WHAT A BLUFF. I TOTALLY GOT TAKEN IN....:) (There were like 75,000 members when I joined in late 2007!!)
I remember finding and seeing this video a few years back, and after watching it, I only dreamed that I'd get to work for and with a great site like this one day!! :-O
Lana - just goes to show that blogging can build business, they're probably out harvesting the crops from all the seeds and watering they've done here in the rain. Busy selling Real Estate is typically the goal of every Real Estate agent here on AR, at least that's what I'm thinking...
Paula- no bluffs, regardless, glad you joined and "got taken in" to the "rain" puddle here! :-))
Brad-Loved watching the video. So far in such a short time! Pretty soon AR will be crossing the 200,000 member mark!
Brad - thanks for this original video, in the beginning it said 36,000 members - my how we have grown!
